AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
344 PM EDT TUE JUN 19 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. A
COLD FRONT FOLLOWS...AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE
AREA LATE FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE AHEAD OF A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT
CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND BACK INTO THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. A SHARP DISCONTINUITY CAN BE SEEN IN THE
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTING THE CONTRAST IN AIR MASSES. MID
LEVEL CLOUD DECK PLAGUING THE CWA THIS MORNING BROKE UP A
BIT...GIVING A DECENT AMOUNT OF INSOLATION TO MUCH OF THE AREA. THIS
HAS ALLOWED THE TEMPERATURES TO INCREASE BACK INTO THE MID 80S THIS
AFTERNOON WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER SIXTIES. THROW INTO THE
MIX A LITTLE INSTABILITY...AND THIS HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. TRIGGERS HAVE BEEN
HARD TO PINPOINT...BUT THE LOCAL MODELS HAVE IDENTIFIED A FEW AREAS
OF OMEGA IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS THAT HAVE HELPED TREMENDOUSLY IN
PAINTING THE NEAR TERM POP FIELDS TODAY.

ON THE WHOLE...EXPECTING THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY TO BE ONE OF THE
BETTER AERIAL COVERAGE DAYS IN TERMS OF RAINFALL...THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...TAPERING TO SHOWERS OVERNIGHT WITH THE
LOSS OF THE ENERGY OF THE SUN. SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE...SO WILL
WATCH FOR SOME HAIL THAT MAY REACH SEVERE LIMITS...ALTHOUGH FORECAST
SOUNDINGS HAVE BEEN SHOWING FAIRLY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
ACROSS THE REGION. WATER LOADING COULD HINDER THE SEVERE POTENTIAL A
BIT.

COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT. SIGNIFICANT DRYING THROUGH THE
COLUMN WILL OCCUR IN THE WAKE OF THE SYSTEM WITH WINDS OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST. THE RESULT...A NEARLY CLOUDLESS SKY ON WEDNESDAY WITH
PLEASANT TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
QUIET START TO THE PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL.  LIKELY
WILL HAVE RIVER VALLEY FOG EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.  HIGH PRESSURE
CONTINUES ITS DOMINANCE THURSDAY.  DID LEAVE IN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
IN AFTERNOON AS NAM12 SHOWS LEAD IMPULSE IN NW FLOW.

QUESTION FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
NAM12...WHICH SHOWS STRONGER IMPULSE IN NW FLOW CLIMATOLOGICALLY
FAVORED TO RESULT IN MCS TRAVELING SE.  THIS WOULD AFFECT FAR
NORTHERN SECTIONS INITIALLY FRIDAY AND THEN MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT.  ROLLED WITH GFS SOLUTION WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENT IN
DEPICTING THIS FEATURE FOR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

FEATURE LOOKS TO HAVE GOOD ALBEIT NARROW AXIS OF UNSTABLE AIR WITH
DECENT CAPE AND H85 DEW POINTS FEEDING INTO IT.

TEMPERATURES LOOKED GOOD ALL AROUND SAVE TO LOWER LOWS A BIT FURTHER
UNDER RADIATIVE CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NW FLOW ALOFT DOMINATES THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH BIG UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE OVER THE W INITIALLY...NOSING EASTWARD THRU THE OH VALLEY BY
DAY 7...WHILE MAINTAINING AN ANCHOR OVER THE ROCKIES.  FOLLOWED HPC
SOLUTION WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHING SATURDAY AND MOVING
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMPACT SOUTHERN STREAM
SYSTEM WITH REMARKABLE MODEL TO MODEL CONSISTENCY.

A SYSTEM LIKE THIS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE ONE OR MORE MCS/S IN THE WARM
ADVECTION OUT AHEAD OF IT GIVEN AXIS OF INSTABILITY FEEDING INTO
IT...WHICH THEN TRACK SE INTO THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY.  THIS SYSTEM ITSELF ROLLS ON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE WEATHER THEN TURNS HOT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGES NOSES
IN OVER THE AREA...WITH GFS/ECMWF H85 TEMPERATURES 20-22C.  A
DISTURBANCE / AN MCS OR EVEN A COLD FRONT IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT ALOFT
RAISES THE POSSIBILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CONVECTION IS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A
VIGOROUS COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST. AREAS OF CLEARING IN THE CLOUD
COVER THIS AFTERNOON WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CB AREA
WIDE...AND MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS AT SOME
POINT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. ALL IN ALL...EXPECTING AN
INCREASE IN THE COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY UNTIL THE SUN SETS...THEN
SHOULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS DECREASING IN INTENSITY TO SHOWERS ALONG
THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS FEATURE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
OVERNIGHT WITH SIGNIFICANT DRYING TAKING PLACE. BY DAWN...CLEAR
SKIES SHOULD PREVAIL. THIS ALSO MAKES THE VISIBILITY FORECAST
TRICKY. AS LOCATIONS CLEAR OUT...MVFR CONDITIONS COULD SET UP
ALLOWING FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING COUPLED WITH A MOISTENED SURFACE
FROM THE EXPECTED ACTIVITY TODAY.

NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY.

IFR/LIFR IN FOG POSSIBLE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO DAWN THURSDAY AND
AGAIN LATE THURSDAY NIGHT TO DAWN FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY KEKN.

&&

.RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WV...NONE.
OH...NONE.
KY...NONE.
